Sonny's bridge : jazz legend Sonny Rollins finds his groove  Cover Image Book Book

Sonny's bridge : jazz legend Sonny Rollins finds his groove / Barry Wittenstein ; illustrated by Keith Mallett.

Wittenstein, Barry, (author.). Mallett, Keith, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Sonny Rollins is one of the most prolific sax players in the history of jazz, but in 1959, at the height of his career, he vanished from the scene. His return to music was an interesting journey - with a long detour on the Williamsburg Bridge. Too loud to practice in his apartment, Rollins played on the New York City landmark for two years among the cacophony of the traffic and the stares of bystanders. Then in 1962, Rollins went back to the studio and recorded arguably his best album to date: The Bridge. Told with a jazz edge to the rhyming text, young readers will be inspired by the genius of this jazz legend." -- Provided by publisher.
